These are clever – Beanie Baggie, a weighted drawstring bag made to hold your yarn so it won’t roll away while you’re knitting.

So have you ever been able to wear flip-flops? I remember a few years back, several times you bemoaned the fact that you couldn’t stand the feeling of the thing between your toes, so you never wore them. Those flip-flop socks would probably drive you nuts…. !

Ico – Nope, I’m still cannot wear flip flops, but I thought it was a cute pattern for those who do.

Kind of OT, but thanks so much for posting the link to the window film with the silouette of tree branches a while back!
I ordered some as soon as I saw it as I’ve been looking for some neat window film to cover a window next to my front door. It came yesterday and we put it up today. I love it! I posted pictures of it on my flickr.

ex.libris – It’s looks amazing! I think I’m going to use this on our back door where I have regular frosted film now. Thanks so much for showing it to us.

You’re welcome. I’ve been uncomfortable about random people looking in that window for awhile, so I’m glad I finally found something I love to cover it!

did anyone else notice that the “Yard of Yarn” sold on that beanie bag site are actually ikea’s minifangst kids storage thingies?

The DIY shrinky-dinks worked great!!!! The deli at QFC was very happy to give us some #6 lids (I am kinda freaked out by baking that plastic in my oven, but the kids are having a blast)
